A dramatic chain of events unfolded in Texas when a man allegedly shot and killed three individuals in a Mabank residence on Friday, later crashing his minivan into a Buc-ee’s store in Ennis, roughly 35 miles away, before turning the gun on himself.

Two additional individuals were shot and are currently hospitalized, while a bystander was injured after being trapped against a display when the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Christopher Kyle Reid Jr., crashed his vehicle into the store, according to a report by WFAA.

Following the collision, Reid allegedly shot himself in the head. He is currently in critical condition at a hospital.

Authorities from the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call just before 2:30 a.m. Friday at a neighborhood in Mabank, where they discovered several individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. A man and a woman were declared dead at the scene, and a third victim succumbed to injuries at UT Health Hospital in Tyler.

The victims have been identified by the sheriff’s office as Kimberly Simpson, 51; Connie Patrick, 72; and Rodney Hammonds, 57. In addition to gunshot wounds, Hammonds also suffered stab wounds and blunt force trauma.

Colton Reid, 24, and Henry Hopgood, 70, were also shot and hospitalized in Tyler, Reid in stable condition and Hopgood in critical condition.

The pedestrian who was injured at the Buc-ee’s was an Oklahoma woman in her 30s. She was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A neighbor told WFFA that one of the shooting victims pounded on her door for help, saying “his brother shot him.”

Police have not released information about a motive for the attack or said what charges Reid will face if he survives.
